#nailedit “Remember, this isn’t just about ads. Ads are emblematic of the root problem, but they’re not the actual root problem. If ads were the sole concern of content blockers, then the blockers (mostly) wouldn’t bother to block web fonts. It’s possible to use web fonts smartly and efficiently, but most sites don’t, so web fonts are a major culprit in slow mobile load times. The same is true for Javascript, whether it’s served by an ad network, an analytics engine, or some other source. So they’re both targeted by blockers—not for enabling ads, but for disabling the web.”

Spit View in iOS 9 is yet another reason why responsive wins. Here is a real use case for resizing windows. Maybe $(window.resize()) might be something to consider now if you are changing the DOM based on screen width.

“I don’t. It’s impossible to keep up with everything new that’s coming out. Your goal should be only to be aware of things at a high-level until you need them. Skim over headlines or links shared by people on Twitter so you’re aware of what’s going on, but don’t waste time trying to master everything. Wait until you need it.” This is my approach too.

“iPhones are great, I just think Apple’s browser policy is awful and they don’t prioritise the web.” I’m not sure that’s entirely true. I think they prioritize Safari performance and a major side affect of that is not quickly adopting cutting edge web technologies. His point still stands though: you are missing out on innovation if you are on iOS.
